That looks so cool. It can be used for all armour types yes? Also in regards to armour skins do they always remain on the gem store or sometimes get removed?
Astra Ferndale – female Charr Mesmer of the Ash legion.
They look great on medium/light..females/males,humans.But it looks completely ridiculous for heavy male norns and chars.That oversized pauldron fixation has to end…They ruin every set they create by adding the biggest clunkiest looking pauldrons.Its a ninja set for gods sake…Why are the pauldrons this ffing huge ?!
The only thing that resembles looking like a ninja for a norn heavy,is the mask…Remove the mask and youre questioned with..What in the hell is he wearing ? The charr on the other hand looks more like a power ranger.
You can hide shoulder, head, and gloves still. I’m surprised that nobody seems to have figured this out yet.
I think what he’s talking about is the ninja outfit, which is a single piece, so you cannot alter the headgear, shoulders, or pauldrons individually. It’s all or nothing.
Presumably because making armor skins available for all weight classes is too labor intensive, so instead they shoehorned in a one-piece outfit system at the sacrifice of the town clothes system.
It’s nice that outfits can be worn by any weight class, completely misses the point, but a nice gesture nonetheless.

And with that my question has been answered thank you. All I need to do now is figure out how you get the katana.
It isn’t for us, it is for China. So was the Ancestral outfit and so will Belinda’s No-dachi when it is released in the gemstore.
Everything is geared for China now. We are just lucky to have access to it as well.
Dude, that’s like saying a Cuban Revolutionary outfit is targeted toward an American audience. Right general part of the globe, but that’s about as close as you’re getting.
The whole ninja/samurai culture isn’t big (or even small, for that matter) in China, it doesn’t appeal to the average Chinese player any more than any European sword does; the dragon jade weapons would be more culturally relevant than the Japanese-themed items.
(Also potentially less offensive, but I won’t go into that)

I don’t even think it looks particularly a. ninja-like or b. Japanese. It has more subtle Chinese hints to me, and the only reason people are associating it with ninjas is the name and the mask.
Not sure I’ve ever seen a ‘ninja’ image outside of the worst cartoon depictions where they wear armoured bracers and shinguards, shoulder armour and metal masks.

Sorry, I’m really not seeing it, about the only thing in the shadow assassin outfit that hints at a Chinese influence to me is the use of jade in the male version; conversely the shoes are very obviously tabi, which were used in Japan but not in China, and the style of the robes could be a hanfu or kimono, but the overlapping semi-circle patterns (traditionally used in Japan to symbolize waves) and sakura flowers aren’t used in traditional Chinese clothing at all.
The nodachi also pretty much solidifies the impression that it’s supposed to be a “ninja” outfit, even if it’s not being sold together there’s still an association going on since they’ve been introduced into the game files on the same day.
Edit: another detail I forgot to mention was the belt, which is a thick sash with cords wrapped around it, which is reminiscent of certain styles of Japanese obi, but not a style used in any traditional Chinese robes.
I wish the female assassin’s pants had fabric filling in the holes. I like a sexy outfit, but I felt like it was unfair when compared to the cool looking male version.
